Summer months averaged about 8kWh/day, crept up to about 18kWh/day as heating on a bit now

gosh thats really low. How much are your direct debits if you dont mind me asking?

Think it's about £35 a month gas(Ebico) and £45 electric(Scottish power Pricefall switching to BG Click 6 as we speak). Gas heating but electric shower/oven so we use above average electric but below average gas. Still can't see where the 20,000kWh average comes in as ours is only just over 10,000kwH on an extended 1920's 3 bed detached. I expected it higher due to an extension with radiators that are underpowered relativeky but it seems not to happen. 4 people in house.

Actually it was closer to 9kWh over summer when I rechecked, monthly figures from 1st May to 1st october


10.31057
10.02187
7.902551
9.146947
8.515316


This winter will be first chance to get some proper stats for those months as last year wife was on maternity leave during that period so heating was on more so it averaged at 44kWh last year Oct 1st - May 1st

If only the electric was as easy to reduce

Currently 12kWh/day for a 4 bed detached, 2 adults, 2 kids. One gas fire, CH & hot water only, everything else is electric (current use for that is 13kWh/day)

thought id join the discussion
just read meters and over the last 56 days.......
gas 21 kwh units = 0.36 per day
elec 269 kwh units= 4.8 per day

think thats wrong my gas meter is not kwh ...... on the last bill it gives a correction factor and calorific value then metric units finally converted to kwh. they charge me 3.59 p per kwh. how can i convert the 21 units into kwh?

They give you the formula on the bill!

If it's an imperial meter, multiply by 32 and if it's metric multiply by 11.

My bill gave me units i had used and also kwh used. I just divided the kwh by the number of days

I dont know but about 18 months ago before going all electric my DD was £71 a month with BG.

Now its cold I'm using about 17-20 units of lekky a day (about 6-8 quid a day). Mind you its only on while its cold and when Im in the house.

must be 12 gas kwh per day then!! i worked it out as imperial as x by 32 gives approx the right result
